Some ideas for adjusting:-Remove the talent and morale bonuses in RULES. Those are in addition to the faction bonuses, not instead, so they give a heavy contribution to the OP-ness.-Remove the TALENT bonus ("quirky and eccentric" doesn't really equate to TALENT); instead, give them a free rec commons in addition to the hologram theater.-For "takes its toll", replace the GROWTH penalty with a setting of 2 for drones (under rules); that will make every other citizen be a drone.-Replace their RESEARCH with 2 research bonus per base, and replace their PROBE bonus with mind control immunity and hypnotic trance for all units (psi resistance).

The result is then a faction that has excellent stability and research in small bases, but has big stability issues in larger bases. Together with their military bonuses, they'd do well as a momentum (rush) faction, but find the later game more difficult.
